This post just made me feel a total disconnect from younger people. I will always prefer physical media and ownership; preferring some sort of license makes no sense to me.
I’m almost 40 and I’ve scratched, lost, or otherwise damaged enough physical media over the years to learn that I prefer a copy of a game that I will always own. Just because it’s digital doesn’t mean I don’t own it. And I can always play that game, or watch that movie, even if my house burns down.
